Christmas Living Room Tour at the Plate Addicts!

Welcome to my living room…all decorated for Christmas! I’d love to show you around! I’m using a red and white color scheme this year built around two of my favorites…French ticking and toile, as you can see from the stockings and wreath in the background and the tree skirt. This is one of several small trees I have decorated. That seems to work better for me since I can have a different theme for each tree!

This tree is decorated with wild birds…cardinals in particular, since they are my favorites! I have a pair that hangs around my birdfeeder all year!

I have already shown you my mantel..all dressed up in French ticking, burlap and mercury glass! You can find a tutorial for the wreath hereand for the stockingshere.

On the coffee table, you’ll find my new wire cloche…the top half of the standthat I showed you yesterday…filled with faux sugared apples. In the center is my tea set…collected piece by piece from Goodwill…

…and filled with small Christmas trees and ornaments! I love the way it glows in the firelight!

My Santos cage doll is one of my favorites! I was excited to find an ex-voto for her to wear this Christmas…an antiqued sacred heart. Her style is more refined and softer than many of the more primitive Santos dolls and suits my Country French decor. I love the little cherub floating in the cloud at her feet!

Doesn’t she have a kind and beautiful face?

On the media cabinet is a little candle holder with special meaning to me. It was in my childhood home and was decorated by my mom each Christmas!

The little ornament under the cloche…a gift from my mom… is another special favorite of mine as is the book...a Paris flea market find. In fact, they will get their own post later!

On the painted chest is my little frenchy boy statue who presides over my vintage book bundle topped by a vintage Santa postcard. The pinecone candle was a Goodwill find. Beside them is yet another little tree, also with a cardinal theme.

And at the other end of the chest…a vintage inspired loving cup filled with a faux sugared berry kissing ball. I love the antique red berries…perfect shade of red for my living room……as is this project in the works that Isabella would like to show you! Can you guess what it will be? Our CEO Ozzie stands in the background to make sure our chatty little Miss Isabella doesn’t spoil the surprise! You will have to come back to find out!

And there you have it…our Christmas living room! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed a little peek at my Christmas decorations!

I simply love your bird tree. I love cardinals...they were my Grandmothers favorite and whenever I see them flying near by I think of her. Your living room looks so pretty. I like the berry kissing ball in the little urn...very cute!

WOW Debbie so many beautiful things!! I LOVE the silver tray on your coffee table and the beautiful vignette you created on it. Love your little tree full of nests and birds. Love the book bundle with the vintage card. Let's just say I LOVE IT ALL!! Martina

You have such a knack for putting things together and making them look wonderful, Debbie. Seeing it all in person would be such a coup!- I'm sure that your family and guests are enjoying all of the eye candy! Christmas hugs to you, Sue

I admire your 4 stockingswith the NOEL letters. The Santos doll does have a very sweet face. Why do they have the wire skirt frames like they do? I've seen others and wondered...Your house is looking very pretty. Red is my favorite color and it so very cheery, perfect for the season. Merry Christmas!Holly

Debbie I am always so inspired when I visit you and your home. This year your decorations are so so lovely once again. I do love the ticking and the toile! Isabella is so pretty on that red sweater? Anyway thanks for sharing with us and I'm looking forward to more inspiration! hugs, Linda

What a beautiful Christmas living room ... I LOVE your tree! And, your mantel is gorgeous ... love that you added the glittered letters to your stockings! What a fabulous room to sit and enjoy the holiday season!

Debbie, EVERYTHING looks fabulous! All that red & white is so festive! I love the wreath you put on the mirror...you've been SUCH a busy crafter lately. I so wish I could be making all this with you! What fun! Let's try to do lunch here at my place...and then me at your place over the holidays; even if it's afterwards. I'd love to see your goodies up close and personal. And we can do COFFEE instead of tea, how's that? Oohlala~ ;) xoxo Hugs friend!

Special and meaningful treasures everywhere. What a wonderful Christmas room you've created. I have always loved your Santos doll, and the heart is perfect for her. I remember being so envious of her when you got her. I'm still crazy about your ticking stockings, and your gorgeous mantel vignette. laurie

Debbie,What a lovely living room all decked out for Christmas! I adore your many small trees for your home! Your staff, Isabella and Ozzie, certainly have my curiosity aroused! I'll be back soon to see what you've been up to!!!Fondly,Pat

I love so many things about your living room tour! The tree with the cardinals is gorgeous! The silver tea set vignette is so pretty. And I love how it reflects the light. Toille and ticking are also some of my favorite things. I could go on and on. Beautiful room! Merry Christmas!
